Our Review

BharatMatrimony was created in 1997 by Matrimony.com, a leader in online matchmaking and marriage services. It caters to Indians, not only based in India but also those living overseas.

The developer, Murugavel Janakiraman, is a living testament to the site's credibility in finding "the one." He met his wife through the website.

You can register to look for a spouse for yourself, family members, or even friends. The site also has 15 regional sites for active Indian members and more than 130 offices overseas to cater to Indians all over the world.

The Limca Book of Records acknowledged the site for the most number of online marriage documented. It is also the most trusted brand in 2014 based on The Brand Trust Report India Study in 2014.

The website aims to develop a better Bharat (India) by leading people to happy marriages. It is the pioneer when it comes to personalised matchmaking services through Assisted Services and EliteMatrimony.

BharatMatrimony is not your typical dating site. It's more to the deeper level-- the marriage level.

So if you are eager to find the one you would spend the rest of your life with, read our in-depth review and find out if this site will help you achieve your happy ever after.

Real Life Review

" My parents already want me to get married since they are not getting any younger. But I still don't have a girlfriend at that moment. So I tried BharatMatrimony and availed of their personalised membership package. In just few weeks, I found the one. We've already started preparing for our wedding!" - Arvin, 34

Design and Usability

The design of BharatMatrimony is neat, simple, yet very useful and informative. The light background of both the app and website makes it easy to look at. The colours of the flag of India are visible on the site which gives extra nationalistic effect for the users.

Members of all ages wouldn't have a hard time using the features. There are easy access buttons which can redirect you directly to the page where you want to go. Some show pop-up pages which you can close right after and be back on the original page. Some links will create a new tab. You don't have to worry about finding back the page that you left because it will not be lost.

The desktop and app versions have the same features. You don't have to familiarise yourself with new functions just to use BharatMatrimony on a new device.
